On the applications page on my phone, it says there is 1.4GB free of internal storage, yet when I plug it into my PC it says there is only 5.45mb. I can't install any app's even though I have deleted about 150mb worth of apps...
Help would be appreciated!
I noticed on mine that under Settings->Apps it indicates 1.6gb free for internal, but on the PC is indicates 10GB free. I am assuming only a certain amount of internal space is made available for apps? Of course a workaround is sliding in an SD card, but there has to be a better answer!

Hi,
I actually picked the S2 over the Sensation because of the slightly higher specs and the fact that phone has 16gb internal memory. Being new to android (switch from iPhone) I really don't get what device memory is and why it's filling up so fast. I have barely installed 5 tiny apps and already 140Mb out of the 1.97Gb has already been used. I installed loads of apps on my iPhone and I intend to do that same on my new one so could someone please explain this concept of device memory and what exactly is stored in there. Also, if I run out of device memory, how do I free it up or increase the 1.97Gb limit?
2GB /data rest as internal sd card, system partition, cache, etc.
You can move apps to sd card if the data partition is full.

Relax, there's plenty of space. I've more than 80 apps installed, and they uses 664MB, so around 240 apps before memory is filled up... Remember that large games like Gameloft games installs their main data on the 12GB partition. And there is also a possibility to move most of the apps to that area as well, but it is unlikely that you need that.
The 140MB used on your phone probably includes some pre-installed apps.
Phew! That's big relief... Thanks so much. Just one last small doubt, I realized that only some apps are allow to be moved to the SD card while others like facebook have the this option greyed out. Why is this exactly?
some apps have the ability to be moved to sd card while others dont due to the way they are built..
can use device internal memory to store app data?
guys is it possible to use the device internal memory (1.9gb) to store app data in absence of internal and external SD card? my camera/apps don't run in absence of the SD card any way to get around this by using the the device internal memory? ( i have 1.5gb free after installation of all the necessarily apps)
A number of my apps won't update at the moment because the phone is advising that the memory is full. However, when I go into the storage settings it advises that there's 1.08gb free on the phone an 0.99gb free on the SD card. The odd thing is that at the top under App Storage it advises that 2.78gb of 2.91gb is used, with 'other' taking up 1.83gb and apps only 0.95gb.
Despite much research on the Internet and playing around I can't identify what this other 1.83gb actually relates to and the phone won't let you tap on this part (as you can do with the apps). Viewing the internal and SD storage via the computer advise the same free space as above. I have tried clearing out the caches and using the Make more space without any luck.
It appears that there is some type of temporary file but I just can't find what it is.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.

that "other" is apps that comes preinstalled, you can't do anything about it unless you are rooted,,& as per your full memory problem, there might be several things causing it, one is if you have used lucky patcher to patch some apps you won't be able to update them unless you remove the odex file created by it..or maybe your memory is actually full, in that case you must transfer some apps to sdcard...
Hello I have a new Huawei Inspira (H867g) The storage listed on the website i bought it from said it had more storage than the phone says..
So DiskUsage says my apps take up 392mb of space all together. This includes the apps i have downloaded and the factory apps such as calendar, bluetooth services, androidhwext, com.qualcomm.privinit and all kinds of tiny things like that.
And Disk Usage says System data uses 123mb
So I go to Settings in my phone, tap on Storage, and it says
Internal Storage:
Total Space: 2.71gb
Available: 1.76gb, 115mb for applications only.
Why only 115mb for applications while there is 1.76gb available???
Is there ANY way to make that 1.76 available for Applications??
Also, When I get down to about 80mb free space left for apps, it says insufficient space available even when downloading apps as small as 5mbs or so.
It is all quite frustrating and stupid...
If there isn't a way to fix these issues and get much space, is there a way to make the MicroSD card perform as internal storage so I can have more storage and download more apps? I saw a video for that on youtube, for android tablets only (rooted) I believe..
I would appreciate ANY info and advice thank you.

Hello everyone. I decided to post on here because I had no idea where my device would fit. I am using android 6.0 on my phone. When I go to file manager, it shows that I have 6.44GB free of 7.89GB on internal storage. Even apps like disk usage and storage analyser show I have 6.44GB free. However, when I connect to PC(MTP), It only shows 1.55GB. I can't even copy anything onto the internal memory anymore. It always says 'insufficient storage' or something. I tried looking for the vold.fstab, I couldn't find it. My phone is rooted. All I found is fstab.mt6580. I need help. I want to access my internal storage as well. Thanks.
It's very unlikely that you would have 6.44 GBs of space free on a device that comes with 8. The space set aside for the system and apps and such usually leaves you with anywhere from 4.5-5.5 free out of the box, before you even sign in. I think those disk usage apps are not reading it correctly. 1.5 GB free sounds about right. Not sure why it wouldn't let you add more stuff to it though. Also not sure what you mean by wanting to access your internal memory as that is what shows up when you connect it to the PC.
Since you are on 6.0, you might check to see if your phone supports adoptive storage and get a good SD card.
